Following the U.S. women's national soccer team's World Cup win, Fox correspondent Greg Palkot aired a live report showing patrons in the background chanting "F--- Trump" in a bar.

Shortly after the segment aired, the president took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the network, which he usually praises for its positive coverage of his administration.

Trump's Sunday evening tweets took aim at the network in general, claiming that it is "changing fast" and forgetting "the people who got them there." But according to the AP, Trump was specifically peeved by Palkot's report. The outlet cited two Trump advisers who were not authorized to speak publicly.

Trump also blasted the network for using The New York Times as a source, possibly referencing two Sunday segments following up on Times stories about conditions at a child detention center in Texas.

According to the AP report, the president has grown more annoyed with Fox News in recent months, repeatedly telling advisers that Fox has been going negative in its coverage of his presidency. He also reportedly expressed annoyance that the network has mentioned his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and sex offender who was arrested this weekend on sex trafficking charges, in its coverage of the case. Fox has also mentioned Epstein's ties to former President Clinton.

Trump has said that because he views MSNBC and CNN as both relentless critics of his administration and reticent to attack Democrats, Fox News should remain “loyal” as a counterweight, according to the AP, citing advisers to the president.

But Trump's reported dissatisfaction with the network clearly has its limits.

On Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted a number of comments praising "Fox & Friends" and commenting on its coverage.

“With President Trump at the helm, not only is America getting great again, but he’s going to make our estuaries, our rivers, our water - everything better - the things he is doing, and done, are just helping America tremendously.” Thank you to Bruce Hrobak @foxandfriends

“I agree with the President, the Supreme Court got it wrong. There should be a question about Citizenship on the Census. A.G. Barr sees a pathway to add the Citizenship Question.” Steve Doocy @foxandfriends Working hard on something that should be so easy. People are fed up!

The Democratic National Committee earlier this year said it would not allow Fox News to host any of the Democratic primary debates following a New Yorker report that detailed the network's ties to the Trump administration. Fox News and a number of its anchors have criticized that decision.
